    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

or possibly a nice drag outfit

Ok a few of my thoughts. I have a feeling i am about to upset both sides here.

 

1) To those who just tell the OP to change shirt. Feel ashamed of yourselves. You are indirectly at least supporting discrimination. As far as I am concerned, you are victim blaming. This is a slippery slope. "X deserved to get raped as she dressed like a tart" or "Muhammad deserved to be stabbed as he did not cross the road to avoid the pack of skinheads coming the other way" Thoughts like that DISGUST me!

 

2) We are here to help fellow members, as in this case, despite whatever opinions you have regarding sexuality, the OP is not doing anything wrong.

 

3) OP may very well be being provocative in your eyes. Im sorry, but in this case he has a right to do so. Although it is a path bound to be filled with complications stress and frustration, it is the OPs Legal right to follow.

 

4) Some gay people are very proud of who they are. And why should they not be. 2-3 decades ago being gay was illegal!! Even today people kill themselves than be who they really are. Things are inproving, but as far as im concerned, untill such a point comes where wearing a "GAY" shirt no longer raises eyebrows, there is still homophobia to br tackled. And if gay people never stepped into the lime light and begun campaigning many more people would be dead. So next time you think (As it is implied here) that the OP is rubbing it in others faces, walk a mile in the shoes of those gay people that existed 20-30 years ago, and then remember that those choosing to express who they are have a right to do so.

 

WHEN sexuality becomes a non issue, "rubbing it into other peoples faces" will cease to be an issue and will not happen

 

5) The complaint re: Jobcenter, Appeal the decision. State the words Maladministration.,

 

5) Sanction : As others have said, Demand to know WHAT was considered inappropriate. I would be tempted to reply in to that letter stating that as far as you are aware you were dressed appropriately and that no regulations or stipulations on your UC have been breached and challenge them to say where they have.

 

6) OP stop acting surprised when you meet resistance. As is your right to express yourself in the way you are, you need to understand the road is still bumpy. You are courting controversy. Think about what you want to achieve. And does it fit into your aims and objectives. By all means, carry on with your crusade, but appreciate that it is going to be riddled with complaints, appeals, sanctions and appeals and you will face financial hardship while you fight this. Just do nto act surprised that it will get rough. You knew it would be. Especially after last time.

 

7) Make sure you are recording all your appointments with JC+

I get where youre going with this however for all intensive purposes... I would wear something more subtle...

 

I would insist that whatever you do choose to wear, it MUST include fairy-lights and tinsel. :jaw:

 

You can discretely plug yourself into a free wall-socket when you are signing on.

This will be sure to impress.

 

Be sure to carry a few pine-fresh car-fresheners to exude that sense of clean, snowy fjord air.

If you feel that you are being discriminated against because of your sexuality, I would be inclined to contact Stonewall http://www.stonewall.org.uk/what_we_do/information/10911.asp who should be able to advise you properly and put you in touch with people who can help.

In England advise is a verb (a doing word) advise/advising/advised, advice is a noun. I might ask for advice or give advice.

 

The same with license (verb) license/licensing/licensed, but one would have a driving licence (noun).

All fun aside, the DWP are not supposed to discriminate against anyone based on their race, creed or colour. In an employment situation, we can add age and sexual preference.

 

Maybe you could ask this woman to print out a hard-copy of the DWPs equality documentation, and you could offer to go through this with her.

In the years that i claimed unemployment benefit It was a rarity to see anyone who was signing on smartly dressed,in the job centre because if you have been living on the pittance they pay each week for any great length of time chances are that you won't have smart clothes to wear, or be in a financial position to afford to buy such clothing, it would be a struggle replacing clothing when it's worn out ,Long gone are the days of clothing grants yes grants not loans

You know what.. There are bigger issues facing people today than what t shirt they have on.

Does it really matter that just for a few minutes people don't know you are gay? You may be proud of your sexuality but it's not the only thing you are- you are someone's son, a friend all sorts of things that your sexuality has nothing to do with.

Why not stick to fights about something that matters other than a t shirt?

Please do not ask me for advice via PM as I will not reply.

You are right, there are other important matters than what someone has on their t shirt. So it should not matter. Stop being an apologist for discrimination. See my last post on here, in those "scenarios" those victims would of been someones child, a friend and all sorts of things. YET you would not expect the victim to be blamed.

I'm not apologising for discrimination. Who says it is? Are there graphics on the t shirt?

I saw Colin's reply, of course I washed my t-shirts, I have 25 of these in different colours and I wear a different colour at my appointments.

 

I don't even have 25 shirts in my clothes drawer, let alone the same one in so many different colours, WOW! Bonkers thread but loving it.

There are no graphics on the shirt nor is it any more inappropriate than other clothes worn by other claimants. The only difference is that the shirt says that the claimant is gay.....

 

Therefore discrimination. If it did not mention the word gay there would be no confrontation.

ALSO there is no regulations JSA or otherwise regarding "Appropriate Clothing"

ALSO as a result of wearing this shirt the claimant is facing a sanction.

 

You are apologizing for an act of discrimination.

Why is this thread still going... Can be solved in 30 seconds...

 

---> Close Thread ---> OP wears a different shirt, preferably one plain or not to expressive. ---> No problem from JCP Staff

I get it, the OP is entitled to wear what he likes and im the same. I wear ones that say i drink beer with your mum etc... Im a wrestling fan, but when i need to go somewhere a bit more important always plain / not-too-expressive etc

I side with both the OP and also JCP staff... OP save yourself the hassle dude... Wear something more suitable :)

 

We could do with some help from you.

SabreSheep,

 

I agree, even my mates saying the same thing you said that if my t-shirt didn't have the word gay on my t-shirt then Job Centre advisors wouldn't have a problem, all my mates saying I should be able to wear what I want, they even said this is homophobic.

 

What if my t-shirt says the following: (NOBODY KNOWS I'M A MILLIONAIRE) bet they wouldn't mind my t-shirt then, it's pathetic this!
